The Guest of General Greeley at
 Marion.

Marion.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2.--Ine pleas ant village of Marion has been in futter of excitement all day over the a1.ival of "the first lady in the land.' Ms. Grover Cleve- land. She arrived at 10:40 o'clock this forenoon from New York by way of Fall River and came to Marion via Middleboro over the Old Colony road in the drawing room car 'Puritan,' which was placed at her disposal by the railroad officials. She was accompanied by Mrs. Folsom, her mother, her aunt Mrs. Walsh, and by General A. w. Greely of the signal service bureau, whose guests she and her relatives will be while in Marion. The news of her intended visit was not known and therefore but few persons were at the depot to welcome the distinguished stranger. Mrs. Cleveland was plainly attired in 8 travelling dress of brown silk and wes fully prepared to meet the in clemency of the weather. The palty took carriages and proceeded to the residence of Captain Emerson Hauley, where they are to stop. Mrs. Cleveland is reported as being much pleased with the beauty of the town, expressing the opinion that it will be an ex- cellent place for rest. The weather was wet and disagreeable all day and frequent show CTS gave excuse enough for anyone to remain l indoors. Self-constituted committees of ladies had conferred to-day es to the propri- ety of rendering in some way the hospitality of the town to the disting uished lady, but if any plans have been formulated they had not up to this evening been made public. From conversation with people likely to know it is thought that Mrs. Cleveland will not care to have any demonstration partaking of a public character made and that she des sires simply to have a season of quiet and relaxation from the arduous duties of the past season. For this purpose she could not have come to better place than Marion

WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN.

The Trestle Work at Frying De-
 stroyed and Trains Unable to Get By.
 GREENFIELD, Mass, Aug 2.-A heavy rain storm from to 10 o'clock tonight raised the water in the river and started the long trestle on the Fitchburg road at the Frying washouts so that it is unsafe to cross. The west bound express due in Greenfield at 1O:20 is held at Frying tonight. Grave fears are entertained as to the trestle stand ing until morning.
 An inspector has started for the scene. It is remarkable coincidence that Conductor Emery's through freight, which was the last train over the bridge at the time of the last washout, is tonight in the same position at the scene of the washout. Orders have just been issued to stop all incoming trains going east at this point and East Deerfield until the damage is repaired. This will cause another freight blockade should the damage prove as serious as apprehended and the road has not yet got rid of all the freight block aded by the lest washout. Several small landslides are reported between here and Frying. One freight engineer just in found the tracks partly covered with clay at Mud Cut, but got his train through. His was the last train in from the east.

THE CONTEST BY BALLOT.
RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS IN OHIO
AND MICHIGAN.

The Republicans Garry the Day in Cincin-
natl by Small Plurality-DemOcrats
Successful in CIeveIand--The Progress Of
the Election in Chicago--Elsewhere.
CINCINNATI, April 6.--Monday's city cleo
ton resulted in the triumph of all the Re
publican candidates by pluralities over the
United Labor candidates of from 6l6 to
5000. The Democratic ticket fell some 1000
behind the Labor vote. 1t seems that in the
new division Of votes the Democracy was a
greater loser than the Republicans Smith,
Republican, for mayor, polled less votes than
any other member Of the ticket, and John
Schwartz, Republican, for police court pros
ecutor, led the ticket with 1862 votes and
over 5000 plurality. Judge Fitzgerald,
Democratic candidate for police judge, led
his ticket with 13,453, and Stevenson, the
Labor candidate, was the leader of his ticket,
with H. ,367 votes.
The great crowd in front Of the election
board went wild with excitement about
eleven o'clock, when the announcement was
made that Stevenson mad been elected by ten
votes Republicans wilted The Democrats did
not because they were out of the race any
how. This stood until l a. M, when a care
full recount was made and Smith given GIG
plurality. The mistake had been made
counting the vote of the Eighth ward, where
Smith had received but small majority,
twice, instead of counting Ward Seventeen,
where he received a large vote. The mis-
take had not been noticed until, while look
ing over the estimate sheet, it was discovered
that Ward Seventeen had been counted up
as having only FIVE precincts. In seven pre-
cincts of the Seventeenth, Smith got SS1,
while in the Eighth he had only 2l3. In the
Seventeenth Stevenson received 293, and in
the Eigth BAL This made the difference.

Captain Bibb's statement.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 5.-Capt. Pey-
ton Bibb, of the Montgomery "True Blues"
says when he wrote Secretary De Leon, of
the National drill he had no idea that the ap-
pGcation Of colored companies to enter the
drill would be accepted, as he felt quite sat-
isied they could be ruled out on a technical
ity. He did not believe there was colored
military company in the United States regu-
larly organized and equipped citing the
Capital City guards Of this city as not hav-
ing been assigned to any regiment. H0
never had any idea of taking his company
into the same camp with the colored COM
panies, and he believed that the rule inserted
in the circulars sent out by the managers Of
the drill that they reserved the right to re-
ject all applications was extended to cover
this very thing, Furthermore he thought
that if colored companies were permitted to
enter, they could not be placed in the camp,
or entered for the competitive drills with the
yyhifaq

Color Linz OnestIon.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The color line
question in connection with the National
drill here next month, occasions considerable
talk in Washington, so many newspaper
men were after Secretary DeLeon last night
that he was compelled to submit to an inter-
view about the withdrawal of the Montgom-
cry crack companies and the participation
of colored organizations in the drill. He
said that the Montgomery companies had q
perfect right to come or not He did not
criticise them for their withdrawal. The
Virginia colored companies are regularly
organized and recognized soldiers of Vir-
ginia; parade with the white troops, and
Governor Lee has assigned them place In
the Forthcoming military parade at Rich
mond. The drill committee is composed al
most exclusively of Democrats and very
largely Of southern men, but there was no
hesitation or delay when the first Virginia
company made its formal application. Had
the Montgomery companies wanted to ask,
Mr. DeLeon thinks, they would have found
that arrangements will be made perfectly
satifactory to the southern as well as the
northern troops. In brief, the whole mat
Ter is one Of great cry and very little wool
No other companies have withdrawn but the
two from Montgomery.

CORNING, Ia, April 6.-John Mckenzie,
the murderer of John H. Riggs, was taken
from the Jail by party of masked men last
night and hanged to tree in front of the
building. Mckenzie coolly walked with the
lynchers, talking and jesting, His last words
were: "Give my watch TO my mother" I"
Mckenzie and Riggs were neighboring
farmers near Eureka, eight miles north Of
here. The former had leased some land
from Riggs, and, attempting to feed Cattle
thereon after the lease had expired, was
barred out by Riggs. One morning, about q
month ago, Mckenzie rode up to Tiggs'
door with a revolver in his hand and said
"I'n give you just three minutes to open that
gate" Riggs started toward the gate, when
Mckenzie fred, to scare him. Riggs stopped
and faced Mckenzie, who Immediately shot
again, the ball penetrating below Riggs eye
and killing him. Mckenzie came to Corn
ing and gave himself up as coolly as though
he had killed dog. Riggs was quiet, re-
spected old bachelor. The lynching was
doubtless melted largely by the long time oc-
cupied in recent trial for murder and the
fear that Mckenzie would escape hanging.

viii BE Elected by Big Majority.
CHICAGO, April B-The day dawned clear
and cool, but pleasant, and voting began
early, even in aristocratic quarters There
were men in line at all the polling places be.
fore the windows we're opened at 8 o'clock,
and between and 8 o'clock the balloting was
as rapid as it could be, and good deal more
so than is usually the case at municipal
contest The United Labor people were en-
thusiastic and confident; but "a great mass Of
reports from all parts Of the city made it
plain that strange as it may seem, the Labor
people were not as well represented at the
polls as they were a year ago. AT half
dozen precincts there were no United Labor
ticket peddlers on hand.
There were the usual incidents to an cleo
tion, except that there appeared to be perfect
order and good temper In certain OF the
precincts the Labor ticket peddlers had little
American flags in their button-holes or stuc
In their hats In certain others there were
circulars being distributed with the red flag
of the Socialists in one corner and the stars
and stripes in another, with some reading
matter making comparisons.
The politicians about town, independent Of
any claims made at the headquarters, are Of
the opinion that Roche and the rest of the
Republican ticket will have majority Of
from $1,000 to q, 900. The latter figure was
most generally given when it had become
certain that the day was to be splendid
one, and that voters were to have no excuse
for not getting out.
